What to say when someone says being a new mom is hard

There is probably no greater shock than going from a care free life to becoming a new mom. As a new mom, you will find yourself on call 24/7 and you are now thinking about someone else’s needs before your own. Staying at home with an infant is a big departure from your old life of infinite freedom, and going out whenever you want to.

Sure, having kids is a sacrifice but it is also one of the most meaningful life experiences there is. As a parent you learn the true meaning of unconditional love, you are teaching someone how to be in the world, and you really think about your values and passing them on to your child.

Along with your motherhood journey, there will be ups and downs and you will learn from all of them. You don’t realize it because you are focused on raising your kids, by becoming a mom you personally grow tremendously as a person.

At the end of their life, most people will tell you that having children is one of the best things that ever happened to them.
